public class CharRulesFilter

extends org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLFilterImpl

A SAX filter which tests information against the XML character rules. This code has not been well-tested, as SAX parsers perform such testing in advance of the information reaching this filter. This filter is intended as a demonstration of how such layering might work if parsers outsourced that work, and also as a tool for checking SAX events generated internally by programs before passing them to other processors.
